Book Review
August 31, 2007 --
It’s All About Him – Finding The Love of My Life, is a must read for all Alan Jackson fans, now Denise Jackson fans, as well as those who live by the adage "behind every good man stands a great woman" . Having been a longtime fan of Alan Jackson and his music, I have been equally impressed and admiring of he and his wife Denise’s ability to survive a very competitive, public, sometimes lest forgiving world of music and entertainment as a couple.
I began my read on the day the book arrived. Reading it from cover to cover from forward to end, I was unable to put it down, finishing it in one long sitting. It touched on all the emotions throughout the book; ranging from grief to laughter. Given, we’re about the same age and have several girlfriends who have been faced with similar situations it was easy to relate to Denise’s experience.
So often, strong women find themselves falling into a; be it willingly or unwillingly, knowingly or unknowingly passive submission into what they believe their mates want them to be, believe, do, choose rather than maintaining their own identities, usually that which is what made them special in the first place. I think, with all the demands on women today it just feels easier, that’s one less thing to think about during the everyday timetable of family life. Before you know it, something is no longer quite right but you can’t or are not willing to identify it. Denise was forced to and captures it wonderfully in her open, honest and direct style, which is so refreshing.
Committed to the rediscovery of her faith in God serve her well in finding her inner strength to work on that which she can control, herself and her part in rebuilding her relationship with her husband, that she could not imagine being without. In the end it is her love of God and Alan that perseveres.
While faith is the cornerstone for Denise in her book, let us not forget it’s Denise’s courage, strength, hope, grace that really make it "ALL ABOUT HER"!

Lady Antebellum (Capital Records) Check out Lady Antebellum's new release Love Don't Live Here Anymore |
 |

Did You Know? Already the trio has been nominated for “Top New Group” at the 2008 Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards. They’ve watched the group-penned first single from Lady Antebellum, “Love Don’t Live Here Anymore,” soar up the country radio charts, while its video has become a staple on CMT and GAC. They’ve performed on the legendary Grand Ole Opry, served as the opening act on Martina McBride’s 2008 arena tour, and opened shows for Kenny Chesney, Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw, Alan Jackson, Taylor Swift, Josh Turner, Phil Vassar, Rodney Atkins and Little Big Town. Outlets like Billboard, Country Weekly, MSN Music and the Boston Globe included Lady Antebellum among their annual shortlists of artists to watch in 2008, and Nashville Lifestyles magazine flat-out called them “the next big thing.” GAC has devoted a special, Introducing … Lady Antebellum, to tracing their brief but eventful history. |

About Lady Antebellum In the summer of 2006, three gifted young adults walked into a house hoping to create music together—and Lady Antebellum walked out. The sound that Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood cooked up while hanging at the Nashville-area home of Charles’ brother throughout the summer of 2006 is a unique blend that mingles classic country, 1960s R&B soulfulness and the heart-on-the-sleeve openness of 1970s singer-songwriters, all presented with a razor-sharp contemporary edge. It’s a sound that had Lady Antebellum, as the threesome dubbed itself, generating deafening buzz as one of modern country’s brightest hopes even before the release of their new self-titled debut album. |
